I should be legally allowed to smash those screens if they play ads while I'm pumping my gas.

You used to be able to mute them by pressing one of the side buttons but now that just cancels your transaction and stops the pump.

I don't need advertisements shoved in my face every second of every day.

Standing there pumping gas is one of the last vestiges of just stopping and being there.

Last time I discovered a machine’s ads couldn’t be muted, I stopped the pumps and I’ll never go back to that gas station.

The level of disrespect is mind boggling.

Second button down on the right didn’t work?

They seem to have learned that everyone knows this feature and now they’re disabling it. I think I’ll just start stabbing the speakers until they get the message to stop this shit
